and
off they went
on what turned out to be a fantastic sunny spring day
my hubby and my brother-in-law hid the eggs
~
some of them were in broad daylight
some of them weren't
there were special spotted eggs in which the kids could only get one of and they weren't supposed to look inside them until the very end. T you are so busted.
i think my sister's chickens heard the word eggs and got a bit nervous
toby actually got in on the action and found an egg underneath a rock before the kids did
~
for linner {that's lunch and dinner in case you didn't you know} we had ham and mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes and cheesy broccoli with french fried onions and grape salad and deviled eggs and home baked bread and and and....shoot, i know i'm forgetting something. let's just say we ate really well like we always do. for dessert we literally inhaled my sister's frosted cut out cookies that are out of this world.
~
like i knew there would be, a loud and outrageous ping pong tournament took place. my hubby kicked butt. there were also games of pool, trampoline jumping and flipping, a bit of stick ball and frisbee throwing and even some dancing.

it was pretty much a perfect easter

and
now i have to share what was on the front of an easter card my sister had
::
"susie, where did you hide the easter eggs at?"
"mary, how many time have i told you not to end a sentence with a preposition?"
"susie, where did you hide the easter eggs at bitch?"

how was your easter
?
your Easter Sunday sounds like a slice of Americana. a perfect Norman Rockwell pic. Awesome. The way any holiday should be celebrated.... with family all around and having a good time.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I need to find out where I can buy one of those cards at :) (and when read out loud, it should be like "beee-itch")
beth, the card from your sister is a hoot! :). thank you for sharing your great easter day! any cookies left? -xok.
ReplyDeleteI didn't do anything Easter-ish at all...no kiddies around. I do go out Satuday night to a new restaurant ( for me ) - sat in the bar and had great food and heard a jazz sing friend belt out a terrific variety of songs and my favorite piano player accompany her, along with a bass and a drummer. It was so much fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics, sounds like you guys had fun with lots of good stuff to eat.

ReplyDeletebelated Easter greetings, Beth. I've been away from the computer for the most part..
ReplyDeleteOne of my daughter's surprise visited us from school.. so lots of sister silly, and cuddling and chats.
Aww, it sounds like you had a most fantastical Easter!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what is more fun...hiding the eggs or finding them. Oh, I wish I could be a little kid again sometimes.
Happy belated Easter!
I loved every bit of the joy and fun of this post but the thing that grabbed my heart was the photo of Toby who looked like my one-time dearly beloved angel cat whom I miss all I can say. Perhaps he found the next of his nine lives in your world. I hope so. That's sort of Eastery...mixed with Buddhism.
